Building
The Cathedral, founded in 1122, has a number of fine features: the East window of 14th century
stained glass, a 16th century carved Flemish altar piece in St Wilfred's Chapel and medieval
paintings in the North & South aisles depicting the lives of saints and apostles. The Choir has
a 14th century barrel-vaulted painted ceiling and early 15th century Choir stalls and miserichords.
